Here's an official Team jersey from 1993 (I'm sure the O Man never missed it)

1993 Team Trivia

Piece of trivia.... While he's not listed on the website roster, Matt Smith did join the Team in 1993 and raced as a non-pro expert. Because he was "underage", he was not allowed to wear or ride Dos Equis branded apparel & equipment. We made special clothing for him that omitted the &q...

Re: Former Dos Equis Marketing Director checking in

Thanks. Sorry I haven't posted very much (OK at all) over the past few years, but I just found my bin of old Dos Equis-Barracuda materials. Probably a week's worth of scanning just on the printed materials alone, but that should add a lot to the historical content of the site from 1992 & 1993. E...

Former Dos Equis Marketing Director checking in

Hi All Glad to see the Barracuda Fan site back up and so very active. Also, great to see the history of this very cool brand being documented. It was truly a unique event inside the bike industry, even at a time when there were lots of innovative things happening. I was the Marketing guy at Dos Equi...

Why Dos Equis?

Re: Un-numbered 93 Barracuda

D I took most of the photos for the team so unfortunately there are very few pics of me and my bikes from the 90's. This was the best handling bike I ever rode. I've been told the frame is basically an A2X Team frame. Cool that people could buy the same frame that team would ride. I think I still ha...

Un-numbered 93 Barracuda

I'm curious if anyone else has one of these or has seen one before. It's a pre-XX 1993 Cuda frame. It's hunter green & white and is made of Tange Prestige CRMO butted O.S. tubes). I was told this was supposed to be the "team frame" which of course required a change in colors to gold/wh...
